Crème da la Crème: March & April

Spring meant the return of my Kentucky Derby style series {already getting excited about 2018!} and even more bold color. I fully embraced the Sugarfix, Baublebar’s line exclusively for Target & I picked up one of my very favorite handbags from Vera Bradley.

I got to partner with the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and co-hosted and event with one of my blogging besties, Tif from Bright on a Budget. I got to work with some local shops and businesses and learned to get a little braver when taking photos.

I got to write about my hometown and favorite spots in Louisville for the Draper James blog, wrote some of my first beauty posts, AND got to be apart of a really cool photoshoot for Kentucky Bride magazine. This was really when I started to rethink content I was sharing and attempted to get a little more person in my writing.
